GAB-1955 my post 1937 was directed to WorldviewDad’s comments, not yours. My apologies.
And Europeans were not low intelligent tribal people at some point in their history...they were always highly educated and intelligent...interesting
No offense was taken. Now, if I can make a comment about it, I would point out several things:
IQ is only one measure of intelligence, and one dealing with the solution of abstract problems. Peasants do badly on IQ tests because they don’t deal with abstract problems very well. They live in the concrete. I’ve seen it with Irish and German peasants in the last century. Remember when the Irish were stupid? Or Germans?
Given better education and soaking them in a culture with more abstracts, IQ scores go up.
